Stakeholder Updates

Use stakeholder updates to translate delivery activity into status, risks, and next steps for people who need the outcome more than every implementation detail.

Answer the right questions

Use completed work, planned work, blockers, roadmap progress, and release notes as source material. A stakeholder update answers:

• What changed since the last update?
• Which goals, customers, products, or releases are affected?
• What is blocked or at risk?
• What happens next?
• Where can the reader inspect source work if they need detail?

Use the right level

Engineering teams may need task and pull request links. Executives usually need initiative status, risk, progress, and next decision. Customers need shipped value and product impact.

Use Roadmap Progress and Release Notes as source material for higher-level updates.
